Visually, most of
the changes to this page from the original 2003 version involve
switching out some of the original sprites. I have occasionally
thought about switching early sprites of characters like Eon, Silky,
and CJ for better ones I made later, but which ones? How far forward
will I need to pull from to be satisfied with how they look? And too
far forward, they'll be wearing outfits innappropriate for this
period, in which case I'd need to make new sprites altogether, at
which point the remaster becomes substantially more difficult and
time-consuming. I have to remind myself sometimes that I'm not
trying to make it look like I was already an expert at working with
sprites back then (if you could even call me that now), and that
this remaster is more about tidying things up and making tweaks to
the story and dialogue to better lead into Eon's World 2.0.

Talking of story,
this one doesn't differ hugely from the original, except for the
fact that Sally is now in it. I wanted to make a point from the
get-go of just how authoritarian GUN is at this point (to the point
of verging on fascism), which is why
the soldier is disrespectfully barking orders at Silky the way he is, and I took
this opportunity also to shed a little bit more light on Sally's
backstory and show why she is not a fan of GUN. More of this will be
revealed over time.
